Los Angeles Angels vs. Minnesota Twins Prediction

I’m on the Twins in this one. I’ll always have concerns about the Twins’ bullpen, but the Twins are the team playing better baseball consistently and I don’t trust the Angels right now, even with Jose Soriano pitching. Soriano had a great start to the year, but he’s had issues since the first month of the seasons with consistency and I think Taj Bradley outduels him here as the Twins get the win.
